Bitter and pathetic, but good technical info
By rbtk
Finished reading this book today. Personally, I found the details regarding the technical construction of the record fascinating and a unique perspective on the album. It really makes you appreciate just how much hard work and love went into Rumours. That was probably the most valuable and substantive part of the book.
The rest of the book bounces between utterly irrelevant stories about his dog. And random girls. Caillat tries very hard to give the impression that he was a ladykiller. It's a little pathetic. He ends up coming across as a huge nerd.
Calliat also has a tremendous, enormous ego and is more than happy to give the impression that he was a Svengali that created Rumours using the random cast offs from a bunch of drug addled, sociopathic misfits. Reading "Making Rumours" is to know that Ken Caillat was the single most critical component of that album's creation. Caillat was clearly important, but he seems a little delusional here.
Finally, the book reads as a bit of a hit piece on Lindsey Buckingham. The back story is that the author sold his publishing company on the premise that he could provide insider info and interviews with the principle players. Buckingham asked the rest of the band not to participate, which obviously made Caillat's life difficult. This, in addition to the fact that Fleetwood Mac hasn't used Caillat in many years, results in a common thread of bitterness that runs throughout the book - manifesting most acutely against Lindsey Buckingham. Again, a little pathetic.
A great book when it comes to technical info. Some dirt to read, if you are into gossip, but the whole thing leaves a bad taste in the mouth. I regret buying it.

Opportunity Wasted
By blondewriter99
I had to give up on this halfway through. It's written by the band's main producer, and while it has some fascinating little tidbits here and there, it is essentially written from an engineer's point of view and would probably only be interesting to musicians. Ken can go on and on about drums, reverb, splicing tape, speakers, soundboards, etc. The promise of the behind the scenes emotional drama between the band never really materializes. Who knows, maybe the whole thing has been blown up in the press, and not that much happened. But even when Ken tells us that something DID happen - such as that Lindsey Buckingham is, in his opinion, an absolute nightmare to work with - we get no details about it. I'm more than halfway through the book and Lindsey has snapped at Ken precisely one time - and it lasted about 10 seconds. Where is this diva extraordinaire he keeps promising? I also had to take off half a star for the casual way Ken cheats on his various girlfriends with not one tiny reflection about it. Call that the '60s, maybe, but if you're not going to reflect on your behavior, then don't include it. I gave up when he introduced his 20-year-old girlfriend to Christine McVie and Stevie Nicks and immediate concludes they must be jealous of her because they were a 'little stand-off-ish." Yeah, I'm sure those two goddess are jealous of your nothing girlfriend, Ken.

A great story told by a great guy.
By George M.
I liked this memoir. If you loved the Rumours album -- and who didn't love this multi-million-unit monster from 1977 -- you will for sure read this book to the end. Ken paints himself as the easygoing non-imposing even-keel personality in a '70's record industry world packed with gifted creative egocentric musicians, often great talents but a little short on maturation. In this case it's the 5 temperamental pop-rock stars we love, known to us as Lindsey, Stevie, Christine, John and Mick. If you're looking for an inside look at these famous artists and their legendary web of simultaneous angry romantic breakups that occurred as they wrote and recorded an album of songs about their web of simultaneous angry romantic breakups, you'll be disappointed because Ken's book is not about that. He does mention a little of the turmoil as background, but he doesn't belabor it beyond some honest opinions. Plus while he had to remain the adult in the room, he worked for the group and couldn't really dwell on their character flaws. The substance of the 3 fronts' songwriting and performing skills throughout his recount of the production is carefully and precisely deconstructed for us. But the book is actually a rags-to-riches story about a lucky 29 year-old recording engineer who coincidentally fell into this co-producer job for the sophomore album release of a then-unknown band comprised of the splintered rhythm section of a minimally successful blues band from the UK and a folkie American couple from the California Bay Area Peninsula. This unique amalgam of talent just happened to explode bigger than anyone's expectations during Rumours' production and eventual release, in part due to Ken's creative production talents. And before he knew it, Ken was along for the ride.
Ken's writing is very clear and easy to read. He's not much of a joke teller, but his writing is genuine and succinct. Ken was all about the music and the finished product proved it. The music industry put big $ into their rock record products in those days when record sales for big name rock bands were 10X what they are today. One might ask, how does one get a book out of describing the step-by-step, often excruciatingly tedious process of recording an album in the late '70's, that took a full year to finish?
Ken puts in a lot of the details of the recording experience from his side of the glass in the control room, and while he is enthused to tell you exactly how he did it, manages to water down some of the complexities for the non-techie readers. If you are a technical type (as I am), you're going to like discovering the way things were done back in the day before computers, pro-tools software, processing and an infinite number of recorded tracks within a song, technology that is taken for granted today. Back then it was all linear: You played, you sang, and because it wasn't perfect, you sang and you played again and again. It was real compared to the cut and paste recording of today. Does any of this automation available to all today make today's modern records any better? Perhaps the opposite.
Perhaps the most interesting part of this memoir is the accuracy of the events and the people. It was written more like a historical novel, with long dialog passages in sync with the narrative. I was constantly amused by how he wrote all the scenes as if they were taking place in real time. Along with off-page testimony from many of the people back then, Ken must have had his producer's logs and track charts at hand with all the precise details of what precisely happened each and every day. Dates were specific in all cases, which also included the things going on outside the studio like lunches, concerts, parties, girlfriends, etc. Not your everyday bio to be sure. A more accurate title might be `Romours: The Historical Novel`! Ken also does a good job of recreating the look and feel of the late '70s when the business of Rock really soared.
The only negative I would bring up is that there's only so many ways you can describe recording the 11 songs on Rumours. Once you get through basic tracks, then fixing the basic tracks, then changing the songs around, then overdubs and accent tracks, vocal tracks, mixing, even the mastering to vinyl, you're pretty much burned out on those 11 songs. To perk up the goings on, there's a little in between about Ken's love life -- after all it was the '70s -- though none of it led to anything permanent in his life. In the end though, amazed at this guy's luck, you're rooting for him, and you realize his touches in the production of Rumours very much contributed to its mega-success.
All in all, a great story told by a great guy.
